Natural Magick is as aesthetically beautiful as it is informative.
This book provides a broad overview of magick in a style that is very reader-friendly. I love the captivating illustrations that accompany the narrative.
Overall, this is a great book to learn more about the topic of magick.

Un buen libro para introducirte en la práctica de la brujería. No explora en profundidad ningún tema pero te deja mucha bibliografía para hacerlo, a fin de cuentas, no es el objetivo de este libro si no que darte las bases para que inicies tu práctica. Me encanto que diera muchos tips para la iniciación y práctica de la brujería dentro del “closet de las escobas” como es mi caso, en definitiva, si estás iniciando en este mundo, este es tu libro.

I’m not an expert witch, but I’m no beginner either. That being said, I do think this book is great for the beginner-intermediate level!
I expected this book to be more about using herbs in your magic — but there was a wealth of information, both basic and more advanced that surprised me. I was happy to learn more about the Sabbats and using moon phases in my craft, and although some of the more basic information provided was repetitive to me I’m sure it would prove very helpful to a beginning witch.
Although I don’t agree with all of the author’s thoughts on spellwork (particularly the idea that self-doubt will harm your spells, which I feel is a bit impractical to impose on someone who is in need of help,) Squire for the most part was a lot more conscious than many white authors when it comes to being aware that not all practices are meant for just any practitioner to dip their toes in.
If you’re looking for spells or rituals, there aren’t many in this book. If you’re looking for information to then transform into spells or rituals of your own — I’d say you’re in the right place! I’m glad I read this book, and I did learn a few things about moon magic and scrying. Well worth it!

Unfortunately the edition that I read isn’t available on StoryGraph, and was about 300 pages, compared to about 170 pages that this says it is.

this is agood beginners guide to witchcraft and makes a quick read. it is something to read on the toilet or relaxing on the couch with your favourite show on. it is not a dense book and the information presented won't be new to anybody who spent a little time in the witchcraft community or has read other witchcraft books. they always tend to repeat a lot of the same things.
i liked the illustrations but the ebook is not very nicely layed out for them. there are sometimes three or four pages with just the pictures on them weirdly cropped at the bottom. i imagine that in the physical book you'd have a spread with the text on one page and the illustrations on the opposite one. in the ebook it isn't done like that and it is really frustrating.
the other thing about this design choice is that you don't really need to read the texts. almost everything is already shown in the illustration and there is only a marginal increase in info you get from reading. this is quite disappointing as i wanted to read a book and not a picture book. i am nnot a preschooler and would like to read more about the concepts that are only as much as teased by reference.
all in all it's an okay book. with witchcraft book it is always difficult to find something that you vibe wiht and for me this was okay. nothing i would keep around a lot but also something i would borrow to new witches who just got into it and need a little overview of everything.
